Chapter 45 – After staying overnight
In the early morning, Cui Que woke up from the bed and subconsciously reached out to the pillow beside her. Then she realized that this was not her room, and there was someone beside her, Xia Liang.
Bathed in the morning light, Xia Liang lay on the bed, breathing evenly, obviously still asleep.
The memories of last night came back to Cui Que's mind, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, recalling the previous experience.
She didn't want to sleep with Xia Liang anymore.
Not to mention that she had been tightly held by Xia Liang before falling asleep, even when Xia Liang fell asleep, it took her a lot of effort to move out of her embrace. In order not to disturb the sleeping Xia Liang, Cui Que tried to pull her hand back little by little, but Xia Liang suddenly hugged her tightly several times, and all her efforts were in vain.
It wasn't until it was close to dawn that she finally managed to break free and get rid of the feeling of being imprisoned, allowing herself to have a good sleep.
So it was early in the morning when Cui Que quietly jumped off the bed. She took off her pajamas, and blue magical threads emerged from under her feet. These threads wrapped around her body and transformed into her usual navy blue dress.
After making the bed, Cui Que glanced at the sleeping Xia Liang to confirm that her actions had not affected her, and then walked towards the balcony of the house with peace of mind.
- It was not that she left on her own initiative, but because she had to go to work next.
For Xia Liang, who was still in middle school, it was already summer vacation, and she could sleep in and not worry about being late. But it was different for Cui Que, because adults didn't have summer vacation.
Or rather, because she stayed outside last night, she had to secretly go home before going to work today to bring her briefcase and other office supplies.
Cui Que found the balcony of Xia Liang's house, held onto the railing, and leaped lightly, jumping directly into the air. Then, with the surge of magic power, she flew into the sky, beyond the reach of ordinary people's sight.
In order not to attract attention while flying, Cui Que always controlled the sound of her magic power and chose high-altitude routes as much as possible to avoid being noticed.
Choosing such a route would be fine in other seasons, but it was summer now. The sun rose earlier, and the daylight was longer, so in the morning, she had to face the scorching sun.
With her eyes squinted, Cui Que adapted to the dazzling sunlight of this summer morning, occasionally lowering her head to look at the ground to confirm her flight trajectory. After a while, she found her own house and quickly descended, trying to use the same method to enter through her own balcony.
However, this plan encountered an obstacle.
When she tried to open the glass door of the balcony, she found that it wouldn't budge. Enduring the sunlight reflected by the glass, she looked inside through the door and saw that the internal latch was locked.
Good anti-theft awareness, but it hindered her.
But now, she had to come up with a reason to fool Mo Ke, so she could only say that.
"Huh? Supervise Xiao Lu and Xiao Liang's training?"Upon hearing this, Mo Ke's ears perked up immediately, her expression clearly intrigued, but she still tried to decline, "Wouldn't it be more prudent for you to take them to the test next year? Is it really appropriate to entrust such an important task to me now?"
"I have my own job during the day, so I can't come in person."
Cui Que explained casually, "Besides, what's the problem? You are their Seeder, it's your job to handle such matters, isn't it?"
"But..." Mo Ke still wanted to decline.
"I believe in your abilities." Cui Que stared at her seriously, "No one is born perfect. Although you became a Seeder by accident, I believe you have your own potential since you were chosen."
"Inspector!"
Mo Ke looked flattered, "You really think highly of me!"
"I do think highly of you, but whether potential can turn into strength depends on your performance." Cui Que seized the moment, hinting at something.
"Since you've said so..."
Excited, Mo Ke fluttered her wings and leaped up from the sofa, exclaiming, "Yes, leave it to me! I will definitely complete the task!"
Their conversation ended with Mo Ke's passionate pledge.
Next, Cui Que told Mo Ke about the prepared training matters, allowing her to understand her responsibilities in about ten minutes.
With reasonable explanations and comprehensive evidence, Mo Ke completely believed Cui Que's words and began to focus on the task.
Although she had successfully bluffed her way through, Cui Que wanted to ride this momentum to her own room. However, seeing Mo Ke's admiring expression, she knew that doing so would only raise new doubts.
If Mo Ke had doubts, Lin Xiaolu would inevitably have doubts too, which was something she didn't want to see.
In the end, unable to come up with any other excuses, Cui Que could only maintain a superior's indifferent attitude. Under Mo Ke's respectful gaze, she left her home with a proud face but a sigh in her heart.
That day, Lin Yun, who didn't bring his bag to work, made three apology calls for it.
